SRS WARING LIGHT ON. TAKATA RECALL

YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS WITH MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CAR HAS 78,131 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TOYOTA OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR MEANS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID NOT SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR KILLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

MY AIRBAGS LIGHT IS ON AND MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS. I BROUGHT MY INTO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING MY AIRBAG SYSTEM TO BE INOPERABLE. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I ONLY HAVE 49,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I AM IN A ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT PROTECT ME.

ON APRIL 21, 2015 I HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALER FOR A OIL CHANGE ETC. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON LOCATED ON THE DASH AND ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT STATED THAT IT WAS OFF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $700.00 TO REPAIR THE COMPUTER. I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT ON WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND NOW IT IS ON. I ONLY HAVE APPROX., 48,000 ON THIS CAR AND I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOV. 2005. HE DID NOT FIX IT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I GET INTO A ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK. I DO NOT HAVE THE $700.00 TO GET IT FIXED. I DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE TOLD ME, IT MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. AS LONG AS THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON IT WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. I NEED IT FIXED. THANK YOU.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS STILL ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME...ON DASH... AIR BAGS HAVE NOT GONE OFF YET. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING AND NOTED THAT THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAD GONE ON. WE STOPPED. I MOVED THE SEAT AND BEGAN DRIVING. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF. THE LIGHT REMAINED OFF UNTIL EARLY 2014, WHEN IT BEGAN ALTERNATING PERIODS OF ON AND OFF. ON MARCH 27, 2014, WE TOOK OUR CAMRY TO OUR TOYOTA DEALER. THE DEALER WROTE (REPORT IS IN THE COMPUTER HOLDINGS OF TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A.): "FOUND THE SEAT TRACK FLOOR COVERING HAS COME LOOSE WHICH ONCE THE SEAT HAS MOVED IT CAUSED THE COVER TO [BE] PUSHED AGAINST THE AIRBAG CONNECTOR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHT TO COME ON DUE TO NO COMMUNICATION AT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG SQUIB CONNECTOR. (CODE B1821)" THE DEALER REPAIRED THE WIRING. IT IS EVIDENT NOW THAT EACH TIME MY WIFE OR I MOVED THE DRIVER'S SEAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF DISRUPTION OF THE AIRBAG ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. THE SEAT IS DRIVEN BY AN ELECTRIC MOTOR, SO THERE WAS NO CHANCE WE DISRUPTED THE WIRING AS MIGHT HAPPEN WITH A MANUALLY READJUSTED SEAT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT CAUSED BY POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN AND NOT A "WEAR AND TEAR" ISSUE. THE AIRBAG ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED SO AS TO HAVE BEEN SAFE FROM DISRUPTION BY MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S-SIDE SEAT. ON APRIL 9, 2014, TOYOTA ANNOUNCED A RECALL FOR AN AIRBAG ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DESIGN DEFECT--IN THE STEERING COLUMN RATHER THAN UNDER THE SEAT--SIMILAR TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCED. BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE, THE RECALL DOES NOT GO AS FAR AS IT SHOULD HAVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER PERFORMED TWO DIAGNOSTICS THAT LOCATED FAILURES AT THE AIR BAG PINFIT AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT. THE AIR BAG PINFIT AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,823 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

VEHICLE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR PASSENGER SIDE. DASH MESSAGE SAID AIRBAG OFF EVEN THOUGH PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO SAID "THE COMPUTER GOT CONFUSED, PROBABLY BECAUSE WEIGHT EXCEEDING TRIGGER THRESHOLD WAS REMOVED FROM SEAT & REPLACED WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING". COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE "RE-CALIBRATED". I WAS CHARGED $95 LABOR TO RE-CALIBRATE. IN MY OPINION FOR THE COMPUTER TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS MOVED IN OR OUT OF THE SEAT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IF THERE IS PROPER WEIGHT, THE BAG SHOULD BE ON, OTHERWISE OFF, BUT NOT DISABLED REQUIRING A TRIP TO THE DEALER TO FIX AND AN EXORBITANT LABOR CHARGE TO FIX. *TR

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR HIT A LIGHT POLE AT 45 MILES PER HOUR. *TR
